IMO anytime you can trade something you have extra of for something someone else has extra of its a win for all.

Well now that's the whole point of planting is to save money. Sure if you have it but a penny saved is a penny earned. It's money you could put on your mortgage or just save for a rainy day.I decided to skip the spuds next year. There is a farm only a few miles from me who grows and sells the most wonderful potatoes of all sorts. I don't feel it necessary to take business from him just so I can save few dollars. He can grow the spuds for me.
My C. Rocks and most others came from folks on here. Not hatcheries, though I have nothing against it. C. Rocks I got from Yard full o' rocks in Georgia. I hatched purchased eggs. Most of my chickens are my own hatches. Just a few are not.Rancher Hicks~ I love the picture of your chickens..I will have to look into that breed when I have more room available for them where did you get them? I have only gotten mine from Tractor Supply.
I just got the little catalog from the place in Maine to buy my potato seed too. I have no clue which potato to plant either.
To answer your question about the Hosta's you eat the freshly grown shoots if I remember correctly you sauté them.

Quote: Ummmm... on that note. What kind of chickens do you have? If you have breeds that I don't, I'd be open to bartering for the subject we've been discussing for hatching eggs. I have also started saving heirloom seeds.

Have you guys had any luck with hatching eggs that were mailed? I just bought my first incubator this fall and will be hatching this spring. I have read lots of bad stories of poor hatching rates
I spent my lunch break today looking at onions in seed catalogs and watching you tubes about growing from seed. Has anyone tried this? I am considering it as it seems easy enough
